State police commonly monitor channel 9 and typically reserve it for such use for contacting authorities, akin to 911/119. Typically if I'm out and about I can tune around and find some convoys on their own channel and 17 usually clear.Ĭhannel 9 is typically reserved for emergency use. I've not heard of a north/south 17 - east/west 19 "only" rule.
If you want to find a trucker - try channel 19 first. In the US channel 19 is pretty typically for everyone to use.

I hope this helps one or another some, and please feel free to correct me where i may be wrong. Im not 100% sure about the US System as im German and only 100% about channel 9 in europe for use with the german language. channel 17 for north/south traffic, 19 for east/west traffic and 21 for regional roads aka country roads.
this is all info from wikipedias german article about "cb funk" aka cb radio.įor the USA i have found some websites that say truckers only use. ex.: channel 5 italian, channel 9 german, channel 17 danish, channel 20 austrian, channel 21 turkish, channel 22 would be romanian, channel 26 would be polish and channel 40 would be swiss. I want to add as this seems to be an universal guide, that cb channels differ from ats to ets2 if you want to keep it realistic.Įurope has one cb channel per language.
